Happy 2026 People,
Dianne is excited to share this amazing Season 4 replay with you while we wait for Season 5 to begin. In this episode, you get to join her chat with romantic women's fiction author, Linda Hughes. For many years Linda worked internationally as a seminar leader and public speaker. It was her dream job. It allowed her to meet people from other countries and cultures from around the world. When Linda finally made the decision to settle down and become a full-time writer, one of her goals was to share those incredible experiences in her novels.
As a native Michigander, Linda uses this familiar setting for her stories as well, especially Mackinac Island. Linda considers herself an armchair historian and finds the local history fascinating everywhere she goes and always finds ways to weave it into her books.
Linda lived in Georgia for many years with her husband, but the couple has since moved to Oklahoma to be near family. Linda confesses that while she loves her family, she still misses Georgia.
